    Weird question about viscous fan operation

    Still learning my way through owning an older vehicle. I have a 97 Lx450. I watched a video on youtube about how a viscous fan clutch works and understand that there are different temperature tolerances built in to tell it to kick on...my question is, isn't it always on? Maybe because I live...

    Fuel Guage acting up

    Gas guage reading empty. Then when I restart the truck, it'll climb back up to accurate reading..3/4 of a tank today. Cant count on restart 10o% though to fix it. But then driving it may or may not drop to below empty. Did some research here. Bad sender? or something else? thanks

    Headlight screw

    I wanna raise my low beams up a little bit. From the picture attached I'm assuming bolt C is the one I need to adjust. How the hell can I access that screw without having to take out the entire housing? it's very close to the metal mount behind it and just not seeing an obvious solution.

    Halogen to LED plug n play

    Do I HAVE to have a relay/harness in order to use LEDS in the OEM housings? (97LX450) I bought what I though was plug n play LED bulbs, but seems like they may still require a harness. Are there any LED bulbs that have built in conversion functionality?
